Blumhouse and Atomic Monster clearly struck gold when they cast Violet as Cady in the original M3GAN. This casting, alongside her sister Madeleine McGraw’s role in The Black Phone, kicked off a remarkable wave of success for the production companies, with both films earning massive box office numbers.
In M3GAN 2.0, Violet reprises her role as a now 12-year-old Cady, still navigating a complex relationship with her aunt Gemma, especially concerning technology. The film explores Cady’s growing interest in coding, a path Gemma is wary of given past AI-related mishaps! Violet, now 14, shared that working on M3GAN was actually her introduction to the concept of AI, and it has made her more cautious of the technology in real life. However, her love for the character of M3GAN, and her bond with on-set performer Amie Donald, remains strong.
Beyond her work as Cady, Violet and her 16-year-old sister Madeleine are making significant strides in the industry. They recently co-starred in and produced two films, The Curse of the Necklace and High Stakes Holiday, alongside their mother, Jackie. This collaborative spirit between the sisters is truly inspiring, and Violet indicates this is just the start of their behind-the-camera ambitions. They’re eager to continue producing, and even potentially directing, more projects together.
The interview also touched upon Violet’s past roles, including playing a young Yelena Belova in Marvel’s Black Widow and the upcoming Thunderbolts. She also reflected on her recurring collaborations with acclaimed horror director Mike Flanagan, having appeared in The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep. It’s a testament to her talent when directors like Flanagan invite her back for multiple projects.
It’s clear that Violet McGraw is more than just a talented actress; she’s a rising force with a clear vision for her career, both in front of and behind the camera. As M3GAN 2.0 opens today, we’re excited to see what’s next for this incredible young star.
